Round 73, Hour 34

I made scrambled eggs, and it worked! They went all scrambly and tasty!

I hope that's not my only achievement of the day, though, because I really do need some dissertation words.

Let me know about your breakfasts, words, plans, and anything else you have to share.

I decided to be an adult last hour and did the dishes :D

That's my next step :-)

I DID A RESEARCH. Only a small research, but it's enough to be going on with.

(I confirmed that a character I'm working with has an Arabic first name and Italian last name. Now i have to figure out how I'm going to integrate that with him being voice-acted by a white guy from London. I mean, I like it when everybody in The Future (tm) is mixed-race, I just... casting. Ethics. Whitewashing. Being pretty sure that this character was originally meant to be voiced by an actor of color then changed because Brown People Can't Have British Accents -- Julian Bashir would like to have several words with you on that topic, but I digress -- but not being sure if it's okay either to actively racebend a character in an otherwise canon-compliant piece or to leave a character whitewashed when literally all I'd have to do is say he has brown skin to make him a nice realistic mixed-race cockney instead of a confusingly named white guy.)

Hmm. Sometimes the idea that your name doesn't have to 'match' your apparent ancestry seems to be part of the plan, but I see what you mean. If he's ~half Italian it already seems reasonable for him to be fairly dark, though, whatever else his background is.
